Jesse Paul McNeely was 17 when he was fatally shot outside his home in Tyler, Texas, on June 30, 2021. He was speaking with a friend when three men in a vehicle approached and demanded their property. When the pair refused, a struggle broke out and Jesse was shot during the altercation. Surveillance footage recorded the fight and the shots being fired.

Three suspects were arrested in connection with the killing: Andres Urrutia, Lorenzo L. Martinez, and Jason Rhodes. Urrutia and Martinez were arrested on July 3, 2021, in Galveston County; Rhodes was arrested in early December 2021 after a police pursuit. The Smith County District Attorney’s Office announced it would seek the death penalty for Urrutia.

Some legal outcomes are listed: Urrutia later pleaded guilty to capital murder and received life in prison; Martinez pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and was sentenced to 45 years; Rhodes pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and received 20 years. Does anyone have information about Jesse, his activities that evening, or the area around his home that could help clarify what happened?
